Hi Ken, If I want to set ROS_IP in my shell, I think I can not write in my ~/.bashrc since it is ignored in roslaunch, does it mean that I have to write in my setup.sh ? In my launch file, I have been using: and to set ROS_IP and ROS_MASTER_URI, but they do not seem to be recognized. I noticed that in other posts for multiple roslaunch, people do not set ROS_MASTER_URI or ROS_IP. Is it the right way? I am kinda lost here. ~ Chris -- View this message in context: http://ros-users.122217.n3.nabble.com/roslaunch-for-multiple-machines-tp1918649p1919773.html Sent from the ROS-Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
